He can play on the bloke in the first row

No change for me. Must go in with settled side and trust Hogan is fine. Happy to give Smith and Spargo another chance to show their best.

Exactly however also they had assistance from the midfield plus when the pressure is on Tex, Lynch and Jenkins go missing big time. Just look at Tex in the GF last year. That aside our 2 key backs are holding up OK and when we get Hibberd back to help we could go along way. That was a very very good win to come back from 20 points down and win by 13. Prefer Alice with 90 point win but this will give the team the belief they can win close games. Bring on the last 4 games.

No change for me however a close look at Hogan is required.

Great win and badly needed after Saints and Cats close losses. Now we need to put the peddle down on Suns and come home strong against Swans, Weagles and Giants. Do that and maybe a top 4 finish or at worst 5th and still get a home final. We still have plenty of improvement.

I hope we take a lot out of last night and learn where we went wrong. That aside as long as the players are not down and can get up again I thing we can be a real nuisance come finals time. We showed last night we are as good as anyone in the comp when on. Just need to do more with our forward entries and play for the whole game. The skipper needs to take control when things are tight and I thought he went missing at the end. On a positive we should have and could have beaten Cats on their own ground. Lost by 2 points with Lever, Viney and Hibberd out. Not a bad effort in my opinion.

No use blaming umpires. More inside 50's AGAIN. More scoring shots AGAIN and still found a way to lose. I do not rate Geelong so this loss hard to take.Umpires were not to blame. The players were. Also anyone want to have a go at Hogan?. I will. His efforts up front were absolute crap. He just wandered around like a lost sheep. Did not impact the game at all with his body. Next to no tackles and one handed grabs at the ball. Also hardly any chasing when Cats got the ball. Pretty ordinary effort in my opinion.

Of course he will return to Perth. AFTER he finishes playing for the DEES.

We must select the best team possible and that of course includes Gawn. Then it is simple,. All we have to do is not what we have done last few games. This team needs to bring all the effort and pressure needed to win games. Unfortunately I have come to conclusion that our bottom 6-8 players and many in Casey are not quite or yet up to AFL standard. Need to take this into account. We are just not good enough at moment. We need more class across all lines, which I trust may happen in next year or so therefore, those selected must be prepared to gut run (both ways) and help their team mates at all times. Given up on trying to select changes and await Goody's and his mates team tomorrow night.

Couldn't agree more. Trac has to go and Tyson also plus I think where ever they found Petty from they need to send him back. Just not a AFL player. There won't be major changes as Goodwin is just as dumb as our players but ANB, Hannan, Smith plus plenty others will be lucky to stay in.

That is our main problem Hogan, TMac, Weids etc all fly for the ball and no one at the fall. These guys do not take enough marks let alone contested one's. No one leads at the ball carrier so we just bomb it in. This current team is the most pathetic kicking team I have seen in many years. They have no brains. Everyone chasing in close for ball. It falls out and guess what the opposition are there to take it away. We lost this at selection and playing to many out of form players.

He is a terrific person. When he has been up here in Qld he has all the time in the world to chat to you and fantastic with the Grand Kids. Wish him well but boy he must now know what is required to be a AFL player. Get the bloody ball Jack and use your body more. Big enough, fast enough and all the talent in world but just needs to see ball and get ball!

We still have a few at our club like Watts that go missing when pressure is on>

Getting his ambitions mixed up with his capabilities.

And it must be working well as we have given teams hidings since he went to bench. Have talked to him a few times when he has been up here in Qld and comes across as a terrific fella that has time of day to chat. No doubt he encourages and supports the players plus constructive feedback when needed. From all accounts he is a very valuable member of the coaching group and for one I am glad he is with the Dees.

Concur. Tom Mac is a must and he can play most positions whereas Lynch is basically a 2nd or 3rd tall forward of which we have a few like Weeds, Smith etc. Not forgetting Hogan also. Doubt Lynch would fit in at all. The other thing is Lynch goes missing allot in games and we have enough of those. Gaff I would take if reasonably priced to cover Vince and Lewis when they retire. But keeping Mac is a no brainer.

I'm sorry and I hope I am very wrong but my view is other than the 1st qtr he was running on the spot. Has no pace at all and like most of his mates turned the ball over. Happy to give him another chance as it was his 1st game but he really needs to find some pace somewhere to burst out of tight situations. Many times he seemed to be standing still when opposition just ran past and from him.

Rang them not long ago and they immediately sent my ticket through with apologies. Packs still not here. Buying GA for rest of family at the Gabba. Do not expect that many to turn up. Lions and Dees up here does not enthuse the Qld'ers

Being in Brissie I paid for Interstate membership on 2/3 plus 2 junior for twin Grand Sons. Packs still not arrived when club said they mailed Monday week ago. Also asked for the free ticket in M'ship package for this Saturday's game and no email ticket yet. Emailed and rang club 3 times now and with Good Friday tomorrow will have to ring again today. This happens all to much with MFC

I'm keen

I would like to put a team in for the first time thanks. Team name - Docs Demons. Cheers
